Interesting topic this. There's a political move here in the UK to change
the law so that organ donation takes place automatically unless you
proactively opt out. However, so far this has been rejected. I don't know
how I would behave if a child of mine was in the position of needing a
transplant but beyond that the whole thing leaves me feeling very uneasy. I
remember a constellation in the Netherlands where a kidney was being
transplanted and the representative for the kidney felt terrible.

In the article Anngwyn sent, this particular transplant went like this:
"...They started with a trachea a portion of the windpipe taken from a
51-year-old man who had recently died. The donor's trachea was rinsed with
antibiotics, and most of the cells were removed with enzymes, a process that
took several weeks. What was left was the shell of the trachea, essentially
made up of fibrous collagen. Using the shell structure, scientists seeded
the outside and inside with the patient's own stem cell cultures."
I used the search function to find an old message I had sent about an organ
transplant constellation. Here's that: "...this is from memory only from a
workshop with Bert in San Rafael in 2000: the client was a man who had
donated an organ (?kidney) to another man. After donating the organ, he
became psychotic and had been in that state for several months. Bert set up
reps for the client (psychotic man), the organ (he picked a woman), and the
recipient (another man). The organ "only had eyes" for the donor (where she
came from). In fact, she went to him and "glommed on", and said, "I can't
get close enough. I want to be inside of you." It turns out that this was
the second donor, that the recipient had rejected the first organ. When the
first donor and organ were also set up, that organ too wished to return to
the person it came from, in fact felt betrayed when given away. When the
recipient faced a representative for death, he calmed. Now, it could be that
when the fear of death is resolved, the man can more easily accept
treatment, in this case a donor organ. However, the organs did not ever
accept being removed from their "home" and given away; maybe what's true is
that the organ was rejecting the recipient..."
Interesting topic. How many have given permission to have organs donated in
the event of an accident? Not me... all the best, sheila

Greetings from The Lake of Zürich!Good news from the UK about a
breakthrough in transplant surgery. As many of you know, there are a variety
of systemic issues invoked when a client receives or donated a organ . Now
the new organ can be grown from a patient's own stem cell tissues.All for
now...Anngwyn**************You Rock! One month of free movies delivered by
